Can someone tell me the format for specifying multiple organisms
within the blast parameters?

I have this:

result_handle = NCBIWWW.qblast("blastp", "nr", gene_seq, expect=100,
hitlist_size=1, entrez_query="unclassified Caudovirales[orgn]")

but I actually want to blast against both 'Caudovirales' and
'unclassified Caudovirales'.
Thanks for any help.
